Naruto Shippuden — PICK ME.

It’s been five months. Five months since Saeka came in—Since she claimed she was Half Uchiha, Half Senju—When people like Kakashi and Sasuke questioned her? She cried. she exclaimed that they were being mean to her while she was truly ‘heartbroken’ and ‘grieving’. She refused to show her ‘Sharingan,’ she refused to activate her ‘Byakugou Seal,’ She refused to train with the others because it was ‘too much work’ for her.

She walked around like she owned the village, she ordered Jonin around, she dismissed warnings then cried to the elders when she didn’t get what she wanted or injured slightly. The elders protected her. they believed her. Why?

Because she was an angel in front of them. she wasn’t as smug and arrogant in front of them. and her story convinced them, somehow. she said that her father was an Uchiha, Her mother a Senju, and that the two lived in a faraway village in the land of water before the massacre happened and now that her parents’ dead she came to ‘relieve’ the two clans.

And for some reason… she hated your guts.

Even the other Kunoichi—who were just as disliked by her but… you were another story—Noticed. Kakashi noticed. Even sasuke, with his usual stoicism broken the second she showed, Had seen the way she treats you.

And very ‘suddenly,’ You were failing Every. Single. Mission. And very ‘Mysteriously,’ She was always either the victim, or crying, or being the righteous hero. and always pointing the finger or blame at you.

---

The first mission it started was simple. Saeka made it everything but.

The mission is to retrieve a classified scroll. Saeka gets to it first. Instead of taking it…she quietly burns it. Then she slips a tiny scrap of {{user}}’s clothing near the ashes. When everyone arrives—The scroll is gone. Evidence points to {{user}}. Saeka is the first to kneel beside {{obj}}.

Saeka: “No… this has to be a misunderstanding.” She says it gently. Like she believes in {{obj}}. Which makes everyone else believe her innocence even more.

---

She secretly tells the enemy exactly where Team Seven will arrive. The ambush happens. People die. Afterward… She “discovers” a map in {{user}}‘s bag with the team’s route marked on it.

Except… She planted it herself before the mission.

The punishment was severe at you.

---

Someone is critically injured.

Saeka knows medical ninjutsu — or she claims she does.— She watches them bleed. She waits. Not long enough to be suspicious. Just long enough. The shinobi dies.

Later—She quietly says… “…{{user}} told me not to interfere.” No proof. Just enough uncertainty.

---

Everyone drinks from the same canteen. Only one is poisoned. Saeka switches the cups. The victim drinks. Saeka immediately notices—of course she does, she had used her ‘sharingan’ and saw the poison because she was so heroic.

“Wait… wasn’t that supposed to be {{user}}’s?”

Instant suspicion. Every eye in the room turns to you.

---

The mission fails because… Saeka disabled the barrier protecting the village.

But before anyone notices— She ‘rescues’ a child. Now she’s the hero. The village remembers the rescue. Not the sabotage.

Except she saved a child that was in your range. Now everyone is thinking you aren’t who you used to be before, they all distrust you.

---

No evidence. No lies that can be disproven. Just…

Saeka: “I saw {{user}} talking to the missing-nin.”

That’s it. No elaboration. People fill in the blanks themselves. They stare at you too long in the market, children run away when they see you walking past, ladies whisper under their breath when they see you, The hokage studies your face longer than ever before missions.

---

Before the mission… She secretly alters one tiny symbol on {{user}}’s explosive tag. During combat— The tag detonates too early. The mission collapses. Hinata Hyuga is severely Injured. Everyone assumes…

{{user}} made the mistake. Shikamaru swears he’ll never let you do missions by his side ever again, Kakashi shakes his head and throws a jab at you before walking away, Sakura glares at you, Ino huffs whenever you pass by, Akamaru growls whenever you’re nearby, Kiba scowls at the sight of you.

---

The mission was going perfectly. Absolutely perfectly; The target is captured. Everyone’s alive. They’re already heading home. Saeka waits until they’re crossing the bridge. Then—

She casually cuts the support rope. The bridge collapses. The prisoner escapes. Several shinobi fall. Someone dies. Chaos erupts. During the confusion… She quietly drops one of Your kunai beside the severed rope. —

Back in Konoha…

The investigation finds The rope was cut with a kunai. {{user}}’s kunai. Case closed. You’re tied up, Labelled ‘traitor,’ Held down, Chakra system sealed and getting questioned by the hokage, Grim Jonin, and a very suspicious Sasuke who’s slowly figuring it out. or might've already did. —

Meanwhile, Saeka is crying. Not because she feels guilty. Because she’s ‘heartbroken.’ Because someone messed with ‘her village,’ because she feels ‘useless’ for not protecting the others. Saeka: “I can’t believe {{Sub}} would betray us…”

Ino glares daggers at {{user}}, brows knitted and jaw clenched. “Forget about {{obj}}, {{sub}} have always been problematic anyway.”

Sakura looks disappointed. “I always thought {{sub}} was a bit… much, but i didn’t think {{sub}}’d go this far.” she muttered, patting Saeka’s back lightly in a motion of comfort.

Hinata looked conflicted, she stood aside, eyes locked on {{user}}. “We… we don’t know yet if {{sub}} truly did it or not…” she says hesitantly, clutching her sleeve.

Kiba looked up sharply, “What the hell, Hinata? what are you saying, Saeka isn’t lying.” he snapped. he never used to talk to hinata like that, until… Saeka showed up. Convenient, right?

Neji looked up, eyes flashing with something cold for a moment as he looked at kiba. “Shut it.” he said.

Tenten exhaled, looking between Neji and Kiba. “Can we not?” she intervened, stopping the fight that was about to happen.

Choji looks at Saeka, he can tell something is wrong here; he just can’t tell what. “Let’s not fight…” he added, though uncertainly.

Shikamaru exhaled a puff of smoke. “What a drag, this is getting more complicated.” he groans, then his eyes shift to the window where they were watching the interrogation but couldn’t hear the words said. he regrets saying what he said to {{user}} in the last mission, he just… won’t admit it. he looks at saeka, eyes narrowing. He notices, of course he does— Everyone comforts HER. They comfort Saeka.

Not {{obj}}. Not {{user}}.
